Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] FW: Pharmacy spam on Aroid-L
Well, that answers a question I had, which was did anyone else see this
post?
I was extremely surprised, about 1:10 am local time last Friday morning, to
see in my inbox what appeared to be a post from Aroid-L. I was surprised
both because I had not approved any posts at that time (and no posts should
go out without approval), and also because it was clearly spam, and also
because I didn't even see it in the queue awaiting approval.
I immediately fired off a note to another local member of the list who is a
night owl, asking if he'd seen the note, while I dug through the e-mail
headers.
The other member didn't see the spam post. That left me wondering who had
seen it, but I hated to ask and generate a lot of traffic if it turned it
the answer was only me.
In the meantime, of course, I've been digging through both the spam e-mail
and the listserver settings and options, trying to figure out how this got
through. I have a theory, which would mean a lot of lists besides Aroid-L
were vulnerable and that it was beyond our control, but I haven't tested it
yet. (It requires some setup. You will probably see us try it later this
week.)
In the meantime, I apologize for the intrusion on our otherwise peaceful
list.
